Shift schedules when the event date changes

When an event date changes, you can quickly shift the schedules associated with the event backward or forward in time to keep the schedule dates correct due to the change in the event date. For example, a Program Manager changes the planned date for an event from October 2nd to September 25th. Due to this change, the date for the event now occurs before the planned finish of the associated schedule. The schedule now needs to be shifted backward in time so that the completion date is before September 25th.

Procedure

1. Open the program with the changed event date in the program timeline.
2. Click on the event. The associated schedules are displayed below the program timeline.
3. Select the schedule you want to shift and then click More Commands > Edit > Shift Schedule. The Shift Schedule panel opens.
4. In the Shift by: section, choose if you want to shift the schedule by a specified number of days or by a specific date.
   • If you select Days: choose a Shift direction (Forward or Backward), and specify the Number of days to move the schedule.
   • If you select Date: use the calendar to specify the new due date for the schedule.
5. Check Run in Background to have the schedule shifted in the background as you work. You are notified when the process completes.
6. Click Shift to shift the schedule.
